Very exciting developments.
After 35+ years of refusal to budge the thought leaders related to the sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome (SAHS) have decided to convene discussion about the need for new measurements for severity in sleep apnea.
It is likely that this thread (11K views) and sister thread What is a fake measurement tool and how are they used in RCT - #46 by llynn (with over 13K views) had much to do with this welcome nascent acquiescence. Thanks to everyone that forwarded the links to these threads.
The power of social media is enhanced by the fact that most researchers want to do the right thing, they are simply blinded by dogma and the drive to get grants by conforming to the prevailing thought. They are first trained within, and then contribute to, generational cycles of indoctrination.
This is why relentless pressure for introspection and reform from social media can work. Most want to get it right, they just have to be convinced of the need to open their intellectual horizon…
Sign up to join today. This is an opportunity for statisticians to see how measurements for RCT are derived near the end of the 1970s -2020s era of #PathologicalConsensus
